Chapter 117: The Friend and the Wizard

Elina and Igni were climbing a mountain together. Elina invited Igni and told him that she would take him to a point where they could look over the local area. Igni would never be able to say no to an invitation from a girl so he agreed within seconds to climb the mountain together.

They climbed for half an hour and as they reached the top, they were able to take a long look at everything around them.

Elina: “Look at this, Igni. This is my family's territory.”

Igni: “It is amazing.”

Below them, they could see the Owlight Mansion. Though there were a few other buildings around the mansion, it looked closer to a town than a city. Though the Owlight owns a lot of territory, there population isn't that high. Nearby, there were many large farms expanding across the land.

That is because this is the farthest rural edge of the Kingdom.

They say that there are many precious minerals inside the mines, but they do not quarrel with other Noble families often. That is because the Owlight Family is also in charge of the rural area to be the first line of defense to protect the country.

Igni: “This farm…what does they grow?”

Elina: “Hm? Oh, they grow fruits there. We sell a little bit to other territories.”

Igni: “The fruits of the Owlight family, huh. I hate to be rude, ,but….they are not well known.”

Elina: “It can't be helped. We are famous for our Mithril more than anything else.”

And Elina smiled as she spoke.

Elina: “Would you like some water, Igni?”

Igni: “Yes, I would like some.” Since Igni can't use [Water] Type Spells, Elina made water for him, and he drank it all down.

Igni: “It's good.”

Elina: “Yes, it really is. A hike up a mountain is a good thing.”

Igni: “Do you like hikes?”

Elina: “When I was little, I used to climb up this mountain with my brothers.”

She looked far into the distance as she said the words.

Elina: “Back then……I was still on good terms with my family.”

Igni: “Back then…..?” Though Igni wasn't sure if this was something he should bring up, he asked the question anyways. Since Elina began the conversation, she may have been looking for someone who would listen.

Elina: “Yes. The rift between my family and myself began…….when I got 2nd place during the mid-term.”

Igni: “That's pretty recent.”

Elina: “Yes, but it shows how <normal>it was to be top of the class here.”</normal>

Igni: “.........normal, huh.”

Igni murmured as he recalled how much hope his father had placed on him. But he immediately scoffed at the notion because of how much emphasis was placed on this word, “normal.” What is normal purely depends on the individual's perspective.

Igni: “Then Elina, let's show them they're wrong.”

That's why Igni spoke as he stared at the same place Elina was.

Elina: “Show them……?”

Igni: “Yeah, if you can show them an overwhelming result, everyone will have to accept your position.”

Elina: “BーBut I dropped to 2nd place……..and I don't even have a Wizard's title either….”

Igni: “I don't either.”

Igni looked straight into Elina's eyes.

Igni: “Elina, I of all people know that you have worked harder than anyone else. I know how you're the most amazing person. So Elina, this time, you can rely on me.”

Elina: “On you…..?” Popularity Etiquette No. 13 ーー ”When in trouble, always find a person you can depend on.” If this is the first part of the rule, thenーー

Igni: “Yes. Remember? During the exams, you helped me a lot, right? So now, I want to help you, Elina.”

ーー”and also be someone dependable for the same reason.”

Igni: “Elina, I think you already know, but I am

Igni: “Yoori's a guy.”

Elina fell to her knees at the news.
